Summary
Drug discovery costs have doubled every nine years since the 1950s, with new drugs taking 10-15 years to develop. AI is being leveraged to address these challenges by closing the data loop in the drug development process.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Drug discovery is a high-cost, high-risk endeavor that is under growing pressure from a market increasingly defined by first-mover advantage. Since the 1950s, the cost of developing new pharmaceuticals has roughly doubled every nine years—a phenomenon known as Eroom’s Law. Today, bringing a new drug to market...
Why it matters
Reducing time and cost in drug discovery could accelerate bringing new pharmaceuticals to market, offering a competitive edge in a high-risk industry. AI's role in managing and utilizing data more effectively may help overcome longstanding inefficiencies.
